How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel formulation combines five active ingredients: Amitriptyline HCl, Gabapentin, Ketamine HCl, Ketoprofen, and Lidocaine HCl. Each of these ingredients plays a unique role in managing various disease states, primarily those related to pain and inflammation.

Amitriptyline HCl is a tricyclic antidepressant that is used in this formulation for its analgesic properties. It works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help elevate mood and reduce the sensation of pain. When applied topically, it can help to numb the skin and underlying tissues, providing relief from localized pain.

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is often used to treat nerve pain. It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain which helps to reduce the intensity and frequency of nerve pain. In a topical formulation, Gabapentin can provide targeted relief from pain and discomfort.

Ketamine HCl is a powerful anesthetic that works by blocking the signals from the nerves to the brain. This helps to numb the area where the gel is applied, providing immediate relief from pain.

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. When applied topically, it can help to reduce inflammation and provide relief from pain and swelling in the targeted area.

Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. It is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by skin irritations. In this formulation, it works to numb the skin and underlying tissues, providing immediate relief from pain.

The combination of these five active ingredients in a single topical gel allows for targeted treatment of various disease states. The gel is easily applied to the skin, allowing for precise application and absorption of the active ingredients. This can provide significant relief from pain and inflammation, improving the quality of life for patients suffering from these conditions.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel formulation containing amitriptyline HCl, gabapentin, ketamine HCl, ketoprofen, and lidocaine HCl, typically recommended for conditions associated with severe and chronic pain, might also be used off-label for other purposes. It might be considered as an option for managing muscle spasms and stiffness in conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or following stroke, due to the potential muscle relaxant and anti-spastic properties of some of its ingredients.

Therefore, it could potentially be used to alleviate discomfort caused by nerve damage in conditions such as diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia, among others. Also, the presence of ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), might suggest its application for conditions characterized by inflammation, including some forms of dermatitis or arthritis, as adjunctive topical therapy.

The presence of lidocaine in the formulation, a well-known local anesthetic, might make this topical gel product suitable for use prior to minor skin procedures, through numbing the area to reduce discomfort. Although this is not the primary use of the product, it could be notably helpful under the supervision of a medical specialist. Lastly, due to the sedative and analgesic properties of ketamine, this formulation can, theoretically, be used for temporary relief of symptoms associated with conditions, such as fibromyalgia or migraine, where central sensitization is believed to play a part.

However, it is important to note that these are potential off-label uses, and the effectiveness and safety of the product for these uses might not be as well studied or established. Therefore, these uses should only be considered under the careful supervision of a healthcare provider, and patients or prescribers with questions regarding these alternative uses should reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy or their healthcare professional for more information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
